XtaLAB Synergy-R

Project Description

The XtaLAB Synergy-R is the most powerful microfocus single crystal X-ray diffractometer available, combining components to allow you to collect high quality diffraction data. Moreover, the XtaLAB Synergy-R offers a number of design features that extend the experimental flexibility to address the most challenging samples.

The XtaLAB Synergy-R system is a tightly integrated single crystal X-ray diffractometer with four basic areas of technology: a high-flux, low-maintenance PhotonJet-R X-ray source with continuously variable divergence slit, a high-precision kappa goniometer and Rigaku’s Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) X-ray detector, the HyPix-6000HE with extremely low noise and high dynamic range, and the CrysAlisPro diffraction software package with sophisticated algorithms to tie the hardware together to minimize the time it takes to measure and solve single crystal X-ray structures.

Benefits:

  • Fast workflow due to complete integration of software and hardware
  • Extremely high performance due to bright source, noise-free detector and fast goniometer speeds
  • Continuously variable divergence lets you resolve reflections from long unit cells.
  • Compact design to fit in your laboratory

Detectors

hypix
Rigaku Oxford Diffraction now offers the HyPix-6000HE Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) X-ray detector. Like all HPCs, the HyPix-6000HE offers direct X-ray photon counting, single pixel point spread function and extremely low noise. The HyPix-6000HE HPC offers a small pixel size of 100 microns, which allows you to better resolve reflections for long unit cells as well as improving reflection profile analysis. The HyPix-6000HE has a high frame rate of 100 Hz, as well as a unique Zero Dead Time mode providing the ultimate in error-free shutterless data collection.

pilatus
The PILATUS3 R 300K is a hybrid photon counting (HPC) X-ray detector that is desirable by labs who desire the benefits offered by PILATUS detectors combined with 4-circle goniometers, but prefer a larger active area. HPC detectors are direct-detection, single-photon counting devices that have essentially no noise and high sensitivity. Moreover, the high dynamic range excellent DQE characteristics for the PILATUS3 R 300K means that they it is well suited for accurately measuring weak reflections alongside very strong reflections – overload corrections and separate scans for weak and strong data are not necessary. The readout time for the PILATUS3 R 300K is 7 msec readout speed, making it capable of true shutterless data collection, thus removing errors associated with shutter open/close and goniometer start/stop events. HPC X-ray detectors have revolutionized the way data are collected at synchrotrons and the PILATUS3 R detectors bring those same capabilities to collect the best possible data at home.
